  • Another great Ozzie Gun Review completedđź‘Ť. You won’t go wrong with either of these awesome 22 Magnum rifles.
  • @ClaytonFord
    Loving the 22WMR content mate, such a great round.
  • Great comparison, you always do a great job! Glad to see you doing well and glad to see you making reviews again. Love my Ruger American and CZ 457. I would be hard pressed to choose which I like better.
  • Ozzie i bought the CZ after your review a few years ago and matched with the RWS ammo that you recommended, never looked back, in pristine conditions @50 yards it groups better than half an inch. I was thinking the other day with all these caliber's out there no one has ever done a video on what is the best for ranges at 50, 100, 150, 200 for small game. Mate you are looking great and you definitely got your bounce back thank you for all you do.
  • G'day Ozzie, Good to see you back. Real world review thank you. I have the 457 (22LR) with the same scope you have. I love it. Accurate, never missed a beat and most of all. Such a handsome rifle with the walnut stock.
  • I’ve got the ruger compact and the 457 American and I love both also definitely both great guns but I always grab the cz when I need a magnum , great vid keep up the good work Ozzie
  • Great review Ozzie and great to have you back mate. I have the Ruger American 22 mag with 16” barrel, lovely rifle, haven’t shot the CZ but the Ruger wont disappoint anyone considering a 22 magnum. Cheers đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

    Great review! I went with the Savage 93 with the thick stainless steel barrel and synthetic stock. I love the .22 magnum cartridge!
  • @Theother1089
    Great to have you back. Nice review, I have the same Ruger, it's great fun, but vfm, you can't beat CZ, especially in rimfires.
  • @brandon1910
    Great video. Love the 22wmr, great little round.

    As a fan of both CZ and Ruger rifles, I agree each has it's pluses and each its minuses. I just bought a CZ 457 American in 22 WMR as my second CZ. A CZ 452 American in 22 LR that I bought years ago was my first. I also have two different Rugers. Each of my CZs and Rugers is well worth the cost.
  • I was surprised, to say the least, that ' the competition' was as close as it turned out to be. When I saw the two rifles that you were using Ozzie, I said to myself, " now here's a fun thing to do, the CZ will make the Ruger look awful", ( again ) wasn't i surprised! Actually I was pleased too, and now I might just order a Ruger American in .22 WMR too. I do have a CZ but it is the slightly older 455 in .22WMR. I enjoy shooting with rimfire and especially bolt action rifles. Thanks for this one Ozzie, it was very entertaining, and for me, educational.
  • Nice review, I have similar opinions and also bought a couple of each in both .22LR & WMR. They’re both good rifles and it’d be difficult to say that one is better than the other.
